A girl from Denmark

Combining truth and fiction in an original romantic spectacle, The Danish Girl convincingly portrays the unique intimacy inherent in marriage and the incredible story of Lily Elba, a pioneer in transgender practice, and a woman torn between fidelity to marriage and her own ambitions and desires.
David Ebershoff's novel teaches the reader to think about who we really are and to be ourselves, regardless of the circumstances. This book will tell you everything about transgender people that everyone wants to know but is afraid to ask.

Based on the novel, in 2015, the Oscar-winning film "The Girl from Denmark" was released with the incomparable Eddie Redmayne in the lead role.
